They are not supposed to ask for a PCR test anymore. Just checked with the Ministry of Tourism Maldives.

FYI i confirmed with Cheval Blanc and Joali they still require guests to take a rapid test. Nautilus and Gili Lankanfushi do not.
A quick question about flights. I want to take the Emirates flight landing into Male at 0740. But my friend said I'd still be waiting for the seaplane as there's a Qatar flight at 0825. Is he right?
